Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is today acknowledged as the greatest modern master of Qawwali, the devotional music of the Sufis. Having popularised this beautiful and inspirational music beyond Muslim peoples to a worldwide audience, with this album he explored for the first time a whole new musical territory.
In the making of 'Mustt Mustt', Nusrat embarked upon an exploration of various Western styles and rhythms, to which he brought his own Asian approach. The Pakistani musicians from Nusrat's Party are accompanied by guitarist Robert Ahwai (West Indies), bassist Darryl Johnson (USA) and percussionist James Pinker (New Zealand). Produced by Michael Brook, who also plays guitar, the album is a unique meeting of international talent.
Reviews
'...one of the great East-West fusion releases...a beguiling mixture of electronics, harmoniums and tabla, Brazilian percussion, Guo Yue's Chinese flute, guitar and the master's soaring vocals.'
